Persecution, Protest & the Spiritual Battle That's Raging","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1454,"description":"Iran recently faced its largest uprising since 1979 — and the consequences have been devastating.\nIn this urgent episode of Into the Supernatural, Billy Hallowell sits down with Joel Veldkamp of Christian Solidarity International to break down what’s really happening inside Iran.\nProtesters have flooded the streets. The regime has responded with brutal force. Even the Iranian government admits thousands are dead.\nBut this isn’t just political turmoil.\nIran is a theocracy — a government ruled by religious authority. That means faith, law, and power are intertwined. And for Christians — especially Muslims who convert to Christianity — the consequences can be life-altering:\n• Imprisonment under “national security” charges\n• Loss of family and children\n• Forced marriage dissolution\n• Years in prison for owning a Bible\n• Even the threat of execution\nThis is more than geopolitics. It’s about persecution, spiritual warfare, and the future of Christianity in the Middle East.\n👉 Learn more or support persecuted believers at: https://www.csi-usa.org\nIf you care about shining light into dark places, share this episode. #Iran #chritianity #jesuschrist #Jesus #persecutedchurch #hope #bible","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SdZQEPtvP3pf4dcyAgAan_y6AGUmOFsjad9BoXSPhhI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wZTg4/NzYzMGQ3OTcxNjhl/NTljNDRkZjJhYWNh/MjAxYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
